This student loan randomly showed up as overdue on my credit report, yet the company is not even showing any way to make a payment online or via mail. This was a private college (*********************** College) issuing fraudulent loans, that has since become a "public" school. I have never seen this loan information until I received notice on my credit that it was past due. Also very confused how they can declare my "loan" past due, but not allow any kind of payment.Business response

Unisa is handling my financial aid account. I have payments set to auto pay monthly. I got an alert from credit monitoring that one of my accounts was reported as 30 days delinquent which dropped my credit score 108 points. I got no notification from unisa that my account was delinquent nor advised of changes to payments that were needed. On February 28th I checked my account statements and last was from first week of January which had no indication of delinquency nor payment change. Unisa has significantly damaged my credit rating due to their negligence in not advising me of any delinquency nor of any change to payment schedule.Business response
